Eligibility
Entries are open worldwide to filmmakers aged 18 or older. Films must have been completed after 1 January 2024 and must use generative AI in a substantial creative role. Films in languages other than English need integrated English subtitles. Submit a 100–300 word AI process statement and list every AI tool used. Short films can run up to 20 minutes including credits and documentaries up to 22 minutes. Vertical dramas must be 9:16 and may include up to five episodes of three minutes each or one cut up to 20 minutes. TV entries may be a pilot of 15–60 minutes or at least three episodes of a series. Include the logline and season outline. Hybrid productions can run up to 30 minutes and need a written process breakdown or a making-of or before-and-after clip of up to two minutes.
What to send
Provide your film title, filmmaker and contact details, category, synopsis, AI process, and the complete list of AI tools used and what each contributed. The complete-list declaration is required.
Your film link or video
Share a complete HTTPS film link or upload an MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM file up to 10 GiB. The review team must be able to watch a linked film. For uploads, keep the original file so you can resume an interrupted transfer.
Your rights and the festival’s review
You keep ownership. You confirm that you have the necessary rights to submit the film and allow the festival team to receive, store and review it. Submission does not automatically publish the film in the public library.
Public screening and the film library
Online publication uses a separate invitation and explicit filmmaker permission. By submitting, you grant Rome AI Festival a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to screen the film during the festival, in person and digitally, and to use excerpts of up to 30 seconds, stills and posters to promote the festival. The team may assess the film and its metadata for curation, internal quality review and screening preparation. You confirm you have cleared the rights needed for those uses. Finalists in the vertical drama track may be shown in a compilation. Ongoing online publication requires a separate invitation and your permission.
